Problem Title:
6.0: win32s/WinProbe may cause Design Manager to hang during translate.


Problem Description:
If WinProbe is installed but not running, there have been
cases where Translate will hang and a hard reboot is necessary.

CAUSE:	There is a conflict with win32s files and what WinProbe installs.


Solution 1:

SOLUTION:  Turning off Winprobe, cleaning off win32s with the
rmwin32s.bat script and reinstalling win32s 1.25.142.0 let the flow work.

rmwin32s.bat is available on the XACTstep CD, in \XBBS\UTILS.

If a program which affects win32s is installed and has an effect that
results in 5.2/6.0 program failures, remove/turn off the offending program,
clean off and the reinstall win32s.
